The bonded debt remains the same as reported last 
year, the amount of bonds outstanding being $40,500: 
$20,000 School Board Redenrption Bonds, due July 1, 1897 
(four per cent.). $20,500 School Board Improvement 
Bonds, due July 1, 1905 (four per cent.). 

The receipts for this year are less than those of 1892 
by $3,348.05, but in this connection it should be remem- 
bered that one item of the receipts for 1892 was $5,500 
from sale of bonds, making the receipts from other sources 
$71,366.13, and making the receipts this year $2,151.95 
more than last year. 

The disbursements for the year exceed those of last 
year by 2.593.19. but during the year, and included in the 
disbursements, we purchased $8,000 of bonds, paying for 
same with premium $8,188.76, so that, allowing for the 
actusl cost of running the schools for the year ending 
June, 30, 1893, has been $5,595,39 less than last year. 

The bonds purchased by the Board (8,000) , together 
with the estimated amount of the Sinking Fund by July, 
1897, will be more than ample to pay off the $20,000 of 
bonds due at that time. 

Most respectifully submitted,

bonded indebtedness is: 

Jaly 1, 1887— 

School Board Redemption $ 20,000 00 

Ten years — due July, 1897 (four per cent.) 

Redeemed and cancelled 300 00 

Amount outstanding due 1897 $ 19,700 00 

July 1, 1890— 

School Board Improvement $ 20,500 00 

Fifteen years — due July, 1905 (four per cent.) 

Redeemed and cancelled 900 00 

Outstanding due in 1905 $ 19,600 00 

Bonds due 1897 $ 19,700 00 

Bonds due 1905 19,600 00 

June 30, 1894— Total outstanding $ 39,300 00 

We have on hand bonds purchased for the Sinking 

Fund as follows: 

City of Covington Redemption Bonds, issued 

. August, 1892 (four per cent.) $ 7,000 00 

City of Covington Waterworks Bond, issued 

1888 (four per cent.) 1,000 00 

Total amount $ 8,000 00 

On hand in the Sinking Fund, cash $ 5,065 15 

The bonds purchased and held by the Board, together 
with the cash in the Sinking Fund, and the amount 
($3,000) wdiich the Board is compelled by law to set apart 
each year from taxes collected, will be sufficient to pay off 
all bonds, and then have a very comfortable balance in the 
Sinking Fund. 

The Repair and Incidental Accounts were greatly 
swelled this year by the repairing of the Fourth District 
School building, occasioned by the fire of January, 1894. 



Covington Pubi.ic Schools. 29 

The repairing on building and furniture made neces- 
sary, amounted to $8,367.61. This is $3,357.30 in excess 
of the amount^ received from policies of insurance, very 
nearly all of which was expended putting in the proper 
furnaces and shafts for heating and ventilating the build- 
ing. 

Under the new charter of the city, whenever a suf- 
ficient fund has been accumulated, there shall be estab- 
lished and maintained as part of the school system, a 
public library, for the benefit of the pubils of the public 
schools in particular, and the public in general. This was 
wise and good legislation, and all honor is due to our rep- 
resentatives for the active part taken by them in pushing 
the act to a passage. It will fill a long felt want in the 
training and education of the wards of the city and the 
pupils of the public schools. 

We have in the new Library Fund $1,213.50, being 
one-half of the net amount of fines and costs paid into the 
Police Court up to July 1st. 

It is estimated that at the end of the year we shall 
have from this source and the one per cent, of the tax col- 
lected, for active purposes, at least $6,500, when steps 
should be taken by the Board to fully earry out the inten- 
tions of the Legislature. 

I would suggest ihat all school property held by the 
Board be re-appraised, as it has not been done for ten 
years. In re-appraising, I am confident a great increase in 
value will be shown. 

Thanking you for favors shown, I am, 
Yours respectfully, 

W. P. McLaughlin, Clerk.

COURSE OF STUDY, 



88 . Covington Public Schools. 

COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS. 

FIRST YEAR, OR "C" PRIMARY GRADE. 

1. Talking — The first effort of a teacher with a class of 
beginners should be to make them feel at home in the 
school. To this end the children should be encouraged to 
enter into familiar conversation with the teacher, and with 
each other, under the direction of the teacher, and the cul- 
tivation of habits of intelligent observation and correct ex- 
pression is one of the principal aims of the instruction in 
this grade; these conversations should be such as are sug- 
gested by objects with which the children are familiar at 
home, or at school, and should relate to their names, prop- 
erties, uses, form, color, size, position, etc. These conver- 
sations should also be so directed as to call, incidentally, 
for special attention to the correct us,e, of: 

(a) The articles ''a" and "an," 

(b) Names to denote one or more than one object. 

(c) Correct form of verb with singular and plural 
nouns . 

(d) This and That with their plurals. 

(e) The personal pronoun as subject of the verb. 

(f) Common adjectives and adverbs, also, for the 
production of simple stories read by the pupils, or read or 
told by the teacher. 

2. Reading — Beginners in reading are to be taught 
from the blackboard by a union of the "Word Method," the 
"Sentence Method" and the "Phonic Method," after the 
following order: 

(a) Words as wholes, taught by sight, with the use 
of script characters, and selected: 



Covington Public Schools. 39 

1. As the names of things familiar to the children. 

2. With reference to their subsequent phonic 
analysis, consisting at first of only short vowels and easy 
consonant sounds. 

3. With reference to the reading book that is to 
follow. 

(b) Other words by sight, without reference to their 
phonic character, taught to aid in the early use of simple 
sentences to be read at sight by the children. The chil- 
dren to be encouraged to make sentences of their own. 
Lists of all the words learned to be kept on the board for 
review . 

(c) The separrtion of words into their phonic ele- 
ments — slow pronunciation. 

1. By the teacher, to cultivatd the ear of the pupils. 

2. By the children, to train the voice to produce 
the sounds at will. 

(d) Teaching the letters as characters to represent 
these sounds, and the analysis of words into their phonic 
elements — spelling by sound. The ''sound chart"' to be 
progressively constructed, and kept on the board for re- 
view. 

(e) The children to be led to combine these repre- 
sentatives of sounds to form words, and to make out and 
pronounce, unassisted, new words written by the teacher, 
and made up of sound characters already learned . 

(f ) About the beginning of the fourth month (the 
exact time to be determined by the teacher) the printed 
forms of the letters to be taught and the use of the reading- 
book begun. 



40 Covington Public Schools. 

(g) The Primer to be completed in this grade. Pu- 
pils should be encouraged to make out, unassisted, all the 
new words of the successive reading lessons, and to this 
end they should be taught the use of the diacritical marks 
used in the reader. The meaning of each new word should 
be developed, and conversation and reading so blended as 
to cultivate natural and pleasing tones in reading. Correct 
expression should come of the pupil's appreciation of the 
sense of what he reads, rather than of the imitation of the 
teacher or pupils. 

3. Spelling — To be taught. 

(a) By copying words and sentences of the reading 
lessons from the blackboard . 

(b) By phonic analysis — spelling by sound — pupils 
to make out the words. 

(c) By naming the letters — oral spelling. 

(d) By writing words from dictation. 

4. Writing — (Slates ruled — pencils long.) 

(^a) Some formal instructions in writing, beginning 
with the simplest of the smallest letters. 

(b) Copying from the board the words and sentences 
of the reading lessons. 

(c) Copying the script lessons from the Reader. 

(d) Correct use of capitals. (Without rules.) 

1. At the beginning of a sentence. 

2. With proper names. 

3. The words I and 0. 

(e) Use of period and question-mark. 



Covington Public Schools. 41 

(f ) The abbreviation of Mr., Mrs., Dr., (doctor) St., 
(street) Ave. (avenue) 

(g) The pupil should also be taught to write his 
name. 

II. NUMBERS. 

(a) Name and value of United States coin to the 
dime. 

(b) Roman notation as far as used in reading lessons. 
White's Oral Lessons for the first year's work, to be taught 
as laid down by the author. 

II. GENERAL INSTRUCTION. 

1. No instruction in gramatical rules or terms is to be 
attempted in this grade, or any Arithmetical definitions or 
rules. 

2. The use of objects, both in reading and in numbers, 
should be persisted in until the teacher is sure that the 
words used by the pupils represent the idea securely pos- 
sessed by them. 

3. All the exercises of the school should be made to 
contribute to the habit;jal use of correct forms of speech. 

4. Excessive use of concert excercises shuold be avoid- 
ed ; and when concert exercises are used, care should be 
taken to prevent the use of drawling or sing song tones. 

5. The teacher should cultivate a gentle and pleasing 
tone of voice and by every means endeavor to make the 
school room a happy place for the little ones. 

6. Drawing, Penmanship and Music are to be taught 
as directed by the Special Teachers.

W. C. Warfield, Esq., 

Superintendent of Public Schools, Covington, Ky. 

Deae Sir : — I have the pleasure of submitting to you 
my report as Principal of Covington High School for the 
academical year of 1893-4. The mouths have passed 
swiftly and pleasantly. I can conscientiously commend 
our teachers, regular and special, as faithful and indus- 
trious, and recommend them as worthy of continuance in 
their respective chairs. It has been the aim of the whole 
faculty to make ours a school deserving of patronage by 
all — a school so excellent that no parent need seek else- 
where for a better, and which shall give to every pupil 
desiring it, a preparation sufficient to enable him to enter 
any first-class college in the land. We thank you for tlje 
prospect of an enlarged curriculum. Our teachers are 
laudably ambitious ; the proximity of the schools of our 
sister city is a constant stimulus to repeated effort. 

We need more physical and chemical apparatus. Our 
students are bright and capable. Why should they not pos- 
sess as good facilities as are at the command of the pupils 
in scores of cities no larger, no more wealthy, and, cer- 
tainly, no more intelligent, than our own goodly city of 
Covington? We thank the Board of Education most heart- 
ily for increasing our teaching force, and most respectfully 
ask a continuance of the work along the line of added 
facilities, apparatus and books. Cincinnati children have 
the free use of a magnificent public library. The prospect 
of a well furnished library in Covington, at i^o very distant 
jiay, gives all great pleasure. 



86 Covington Public Schools. 

A reference to the statistical tables accompan3'ing this 
report will show a larger enrollment, a better attendance, 
les< tardiness, than for many years previous. This is true 
of all the rooms in the building. 

It is proptr to say of the Intermediate teachers that 
they hav9 ])een courteous and attentive to duty. Their 
labors are arduous and incessant, but they have not been 
found wanting. We regret the fact that one of them will 
soon leave us to enter another sphere of usefulness. We 
wish for her much happiness. 

Our janitor has been prompt and faithful. The build- 
ing and grounds have been kept in a fair condition of 
cleanliness and order. He hns been kind and accommo- 
dating to teachers and children 

This report, my dear sir, would be incomplete if no 
mention were made of the unvarying affability and cour- 
tesy which have marked your demeanor in all your deal- 
ings with our teachers. I desire to express my own high 
appreciation thereof, an i extend hearty thanks. 

Hoping that the new year may be as pleasant and as 
profitable as the past has been, I am most sincerely truly 
Yours in the good work, 

H. R. Blaisdell, 
Principal of High School.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT. 



An address delivered before the Board of Education, in 
regular session, on December 7, 1893, by Dr. J. A. Averdick, 
President Board of Education, Covington, Ky. — 

Gentlemen of the Board — It is with some diffidence 
and a feeling of responsibility that I assume the duties of 
this honorable position which you have so generously con- 
ferred upon me. I accept the honor with diffidence, be- 
cause I know full well my inability to discharge the duties 
incumbent upon this position, in the manner that I myself 
would like, and feel, also, the difficulty in following such 
illustrious and impartial predecessors to the satisfact'on of 
your board and the friends of the public school system in 
our beautiful city. 

I am, however, sincerely grateful to the citizens of Cov- 
ington, not only for the large vote tendered to me in the 
primary and regular elections, but also for the confidence 
bestowed in me through their representatives in this board. 
I am deeply sensible of the responsibility incurred in ac- 
cepting this honor, for the reason that my whole heart and 
public interests are concerned in the welfare of our city 
and its true American institutions, foremost among w^hich 
is the splendid school system established by wise legisla- 
tion, and maintained by general taxation, with the approval 
and support of all our public spirited citizens. 

During the five years that I have tried to serve the 
people of Covington as a member of the Board of Edu- 
cation, it has always been my most cherished ambition 



94 Covington Public Schools. 

to promote the interests of our schools, and to co-oper- 
ate with my associates in placing them in the front rank 
with the schools of other cities of the same class and popu- 
lation. 

I may be pardoned for thinking that the good citizens of 
Covington are entitled to the very best of everything that 
can bo obtained b}' honest and progressive municipal gov- 
ernment, and, in my humble judgment, the most important 
of our local municipal affairs is the public school system of 
this city, which is now on an equality, and of the same 
general grade as that obtained throughout the grand Re- 
public in which we live, and to which we owe our best 
allegiance, and which, more than any other institution, has 
served to give our country first rank among the nations of 
the earth. My previous experience as" a member of this 
board, and my deep interest in the cause of education have 
brought to my mind certain suggestions and recommenda- 
tions, which I believe it to be for the general good of the 
cause we have been elected to promote, and I commend 
these various subjects to you, gentlemen, for earnest 
thought and careful consideration. 

THE KINDERGARTEN 
Is a comparatively modern institution, and is the result of 
modern ideas, among the benefactors and friends of 
humanity in the b'rge cities of this country. It was the 
outgrowth in the first place of a desire by good citizens to 
lift up and properly train the small children who, by rea- 
son of misfortune or mere circumstance of birth, were not 
receiving the best influence of society and education. In 
this branch of early training and schooling the city of 



Covington Public Schools. 95 

Covington is far in advance of the majority of its corpora- 
tions, and, even in the Queen City across the river, of 
which all of us are justly proud (because of its close prox- 
imity to Covington), and seriously because so many of our 
citizens have important interests there, and because of its 
wealth and commercial standing among the great cities of 
the land, has not yet, as in other instances, adopted our 
advanced ideas in regard to this worthy institution for the 
benefit of the little children who should be kept from the 
streets and from evil influences, from the days of their 
earliest comprehension. We are proud of the fact that our 
kindergartens are public institutions, maintained by the 
general taxation upon all our people, and not by the 
charity of a few", for they have become the very foundation 
of our almost perfect system of education. I therefore 
recommend that this board continue these institutions, now 
but a little more than a year old, and like the little urchin 
that attends, still in swaddling clothes, but growing. The 
watch-word of this board should be progression, and not 
retrogression. These primary schools for the little ones 
are an honor to our community, and should receive indi- 
vidual encouragement, and the official aid of this body of 
public servants, whose every effort should be directed to 
the up-building of every branch of our public schools, of 
which the Kindergarten, while the youngest, is by no 
means the least important. 

COLORED SCHOOLS. 
As one of the results of the civil war, the colored people 
who had been in the bonds of slavery were liberated, and 
became free and independent citizens, with the right of 



§6 Covington Public Schools. 

suffrage in all the States of the Union. Thus w;is precipi- 
tated upon the United States a large voting population 
which was generally iguorant as to the needs of their coun- 
try and its local and educational institutions. Every man 
who labors, helps pay the taxes; every landlord that rents 
a house takes into consideration at the time what will be 
the probable cost of repairs, his insurance, and his taxes, 
and bases his computation as to the rental charges accord- 
ingly. Therefore, as a general rule, the poor man, whether 
he be white or black, pays the taxes from which all 
branches of our government, national, state or municipal, 
are maintained. 

The colored citizen is progressing and is becoming bet- 
ter fitted for the responsible duties of citizenship, but, al- 
though perhaps a much larger proportion of the colored 
people over tlie whites work in the humbler paths of life, 
and are engaged in menial employments, and are classed 
among the poorest of the poor, still every stroke they make 
in honest toil adds to the wealth and prosperity of our com- 
munity, and every dollar of rents they pay helps to pay the 
taxes of our city. Their children are entitled to all the ad- 
vantages of our public schools, and I recommend to this 
honorable Board that the liberal policy heretofore pursued 
by this Board, be enlarged during the ensuing administra- 
tion, and that the colored school should be maintained upon 
an equality with the privileges and advantages granted to 
other schools of our community. 

TRUANT OFFICERS. 

The school is the mould of the future man, and without 
the education and experience the school life gives, life is 



Covington Public Schools. 97 

barren, and without the refined and sensible encourage- 
ment and pleasures which God provided for His children, 
and for which He has made it our duty to prepare the 
children of the earth. The duty of this Board in its limit- 
ed jurisdiction is plainly important so far as compelling the 
attendance is concerned, of the children within the school 
age. Every parent should do all in his power to educate 
his child ; it is the duty of every parent to see to it so far as 
possible that his child is in attendance at school, whether 
it be public or parochial. If however the power of the par- 
ent is inadequate, the power of the State should be invoked 
and every child should, by compulsatory process if neces- 
sary, be fitted for the responsibilities of citizenship, and 
should be taught to realize and appreciate the patriotism 
and sacrifices of the founders of our constitution and fund- 
amental laws, in order that the blessings of a free country 
should be their heritage. The young of this land should 
be taught to love their country and its glorious intitutions, 
and every boy should at least have the rudiments of edu- 
cation, so as to know how to love his country and . appreci- 
ate its advantages. I am particularly happy in realizing 
the fact that the stars and stripes of America are displayed 
at all the school houses before the eyes of the future citizens 
and protectors of our land, as a constant reminder of their 
duty as patriotic Americans. 

It is imperative, not only for the child's good, but for the 
welfare and perpetuity of the country that it should be ed- 
ucated in our laws and our system of government. The 
parent may be even indiff'erent, or may be so unmindful of 
the future of his child, that even while yet in tender years, 



98 Covington Public Schools. 

it is kept either in idleness or menial labor. Bat this does 
not lesson our duty to the public, and every possible effort 
should be made by this Board after the child has become 
an attendant at either one of the schools that this attend- 
ance be continued unless by sickness. I, therefore, recom- 
mend that a truant officer should be engaged whose duty it 
shall be to go to the different Principals and ascertain the 
names of the absentees and to go into the homes of same 
and learn the cause why the children are not sent regu- 
larly to school, and I respectfully urge that all the neces- 
sary rules and regulations and laws be issued that will aid 
him as an officer of this Board, in securing attendance. 

EXPENSES. 

I am in favor of cutting down many unnecessary expen- 
ses, but we must not be "penny wise and pound foolish." 
We should pay the best of salaries to procure the services of 
the most expert people. 

HEALTH. 

A very important matter to look to is the health of our 
wards Our Sanitary Committee, whose chairman is one 
of Covington's most eminent physicians, a thorough stu- 
dent, well versed on sanitation, should allow no expense to 
stand in their way in caring for the health of our little 
ones. This committee is one of the most important, and I 
ask the members of same to give it particular attention, 
and at the same time ask the Board to aid them generously. 

SUPERINTENDENT. 
The Superintendent should be a man capable to super- 
intend as well as instruct. He should be practical, as well 
theoretical. He should not be jeopardized by an annual 



Covington Public Schools. 90 

election, Ijut should be elected for four years, subject to re- 
moval l)y the Board. We sliould look to him for the full 
responsibilities of our schools. The Principals should un- 
derstand that they owe him respect, and are responsible to 
hirn for their acts, but at the same time he must show them 
due courtesy, and they should have a right to appeal any 
grievance to the Board. 

PRINCIPALS. 
Principals should at all times be conrteous to their teach- 
ers and vice versa. I am aware of what I say when I ask 
this to be done, for in many instances, in our schools there 
is not only a dislike but a bitter feeling existing between 
Principal and teacher. When such is the case, the Super- 
intendent should in some way separate them from the 
same building- The Principal should have control of the 
teachers in his building, and be responsible for them to the 
Superintendent. 

ELECTIONS. 
When the school year is over, our teachers need rest. 
Mental work is by far the most straining on the system. 
We should relieve their minds entirely, that they maybe 
able to enjoy their vacation, and recuperate, that when 
they return to their duties, they will be in a condition of 
mind and body to pursue their duties as is expected of 
them. This, unfortunately, was not the case during the 
past summer. We kept our special teachers in jeopardy, 
not knowing whether they would be returned to their 
positions, and their elections did not take place until short- 
ly before the schools were opened. This shall not be any 
naore. We must elect all our teachers as designated by 
our school laws, that they may be able to enjoy their vaca- 
tion.

committees. 

Tn appointing my committees I have had no enemies to 
punish, no friends to reward. I have done what I consid- 
ered best for the interests of onr schools, and I trust that 
every one of this Board has received an appnintment on 
the committee, that he may have preferred. If not, I hope 
he will except the situation in a proper spirit. Heretofore 
it has been a fashion to allow the chairman of the commit- 
tees to attend to matters that may come before it. This, 
as your President, I will not consent to. I expect as near- 
ly as possible to have the full committee attend to the 
business coming before that committee. If, during the 
year I might do something that would displease you, re- 
member that I am but human, and that it is from the head 
and not the heart. "To err is human, to forgive is divine." 

In conclusion permit me to urge that all members of this 
Board should study the various improvements that may be 
proposed in our general school system, by the citizens or the 
press, so as to be able to fully and intelligently pr9sent 
their ideas and suggestions for our consideration. I am an 
American born and bred, whose father, though a foreigner 
by birth, fought for the flag of the land of his adoiDtion, 
and taught his children that to 

Stand where we may in the whole wide world, 
With flags of nations in pride unfurled, 

No banner can float with so grand a mien, 
As the one that bears on its silken sheen, 

Emblazoned where all the world may see, 
The word of words : LIBERTY.

Covington, Ky., October 1, 1894. J 



To the Board of Education of the City of Covington: 

Gentlemen: — In accordance with tlie rules and regula- 
tions of the Board of Education, I have the honor to 
submit the annual report of the Public Schools of Coving- 
ton for the year ending June 30, 1894. 

In addition to what may be found in the preceding por- 
tion of this volume, I desire to call your attention to the 
following remarks and recommendations : 

The past year witnessed an increased, enrollment over 
the previous year. This was indeed gratifying. Daring 
the year just ended I made as thorough an inspection of 
the various schools as was possible under the existing cir- 
cumstances. 

My observation and inspection, together with my pre- 
vious experience, lead me to make some changes in the 
course of study. From time to time I have made various 
recommendations to your honorable Board. It is very 
gratifying to know that a large number of them have been 
acted upon favorably. Some others were not concurred in. 
I trust that the decisions made by the Board in reference 
to these several points have been wise ones, be they for, or 
against the recommendations made. 



102 ■ Covington Public Schools. 

TEACHERS. 

Teajhing is a profession. If it is not, then our public 
schools are in unsafe hands. Any vocation in life which 
is. simply followed by novices must, sooner or later, place 
itself in an unenviable position. 

That teaching at the present time is holding out but 
slight inducements to talented young men and young 
women who may be seeking vocations, apparently is mani- 
festly true. 

A young man of education and talent finds that his 
qualifications will obtain for him a higher salary in some 
other calling than teaching, and the school room fails to 
obtain a splendid instructor. But "the signs of the times" 
indicate that we are gaining ground. Salaries of teachers 
are getting larger, schools are becoming more thoroughly 
aroused as the}^ get filled with the spirit which is to be 
found emanating from the well educated, well trained and 
thoroughly alive teachers, and people believe fully in their 
public schools. 

We need have no fear of the public schools taking back- 
ward steps. The teachers of to-day must keep abreast 
with the fast endi'.g nineteenth cntury. They rmist do so. 
If not of their own volition, then it must surely come of 
the impetus given to the movement by those who are the 
recognized leaders in the educational army of this country. 

Ohas. R. Skinner, in his Chautauqua Lecture, (publish- 
ed in tlie "School Bulletin," S( ptember 1894) , gave utter- 
ence to a great deal that is true in the following words : 
TEACHERS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED. 

"Raise the standard of those who teach and you must 
certainly lift up the ideals of those taught. Improve the 



Covington Public Schools. 103 

quality of the teachers if you want finer pupils. Demand 
loftier teaching if you hope for higher learning. The fact 
that this call comes from every direction shows a common 
necessity. What the couatry wants, what the fifteen mill- 
ion children in our public schools need, is a corps of i)ro- 
fessionally trained teachers, competent, satisfied and hapj])y, 
able to cause others to know, fitted to cause others to learn. 
Teaching is a high and noble prefession. It demands 
much of those embracing it. It wields immense power 
over its subjects. It can never, therefore, be outside a citi- 
zen's duty, foreign to a patriot's heart, or alien to a Christ- 
ian's obligations, to ask how^ teachers of oar public schools 
can be so trained as best to meet the responsibilities rent- 
ing upon them. 

Says '^scar Chrisman {FoT%im^ Feb., 1894) : 
'The life, the growth, the ideas, the very being of the 
child should be inquired into and studied. The child is 
the most important object upon earth for our consideration. 
His health, his nurture, his development, are far more 
worthy our regard than anything else. Yet less is known 
about the child, and less attention given to his care than 
anything else. Paidologv must take up this very neces- 
sary work. Perhaps the greatest application of this knowl- 
edge of the child will be in the schoolroom, because the 
school room is the workshop, the business house, the ofiice 
of the child, and hence more may be done for him there 

than anywhere else. 

« 

Independent of this special study of the child-nature 
there ought to be in the true teacher the earnest, constant 
endeavor to help the child to know the subjects taught; to 



104 Covington Public Schools. 

train him not merely to learn lessons assigned, but to 
teach him to think; to help the child make what he learns 
his own. 

In these two respects — the love of study for the sake of 
knowledge; the study of the child to learn how to teach a 
child — a vast improvement can be made by the 425,000 
teachers in our primary, grammar, and high schools in the 
United States. 

A pilot entrusted to bring an ocean steamer to her city 
dock has had many years hard practice before long miles 
beyond Sandy Hook, the captain resigns the ship to his or- 
ders. Life and property are too precious to be given over 
into the hands of an unpracticed pilot. Yet how constant- 
ly are our public schools committed to the care of teachers 
who spend their first months and years in a series of ex- 
periments on the hearts and lives of our children before 
they can be said to have any practical knowledge of teach- 
ing. Who can tell how many lives have been spoiled as a 
result of these experiments in the school room? It is no 
wonder that those most conversant with this need of our 
public schools cry out wdth one accord: 'Give us profes- 
sionally trained teachers, with a basis of broad scholar- 
ship; men and women who themselves have been thorough- 
ly disciplined in the divine art of teaching and know how 
to inspire otheis to learn.' 

CULTURE IN TEACHERS. 

Inseparably connected with love of study, knowledge of 
child-nature, and practical methods of teaching, there 
must be in the complete equipment of the teacher's profes- 
sional spirit that essential qualification most aptly called 



Covington Public Schools. 105 

culture. Culture is that instinctive feeling of refinement 
and delicacy which leads every true teacher to treat each 
child courteously, kindly, in a genuine manly and womanly 
way. This is made up of two parts — morals and manners. 
It ought not to be necessary to say that school commission- 
ers, school superintendents, school teachers, school officers 
genrrally, should always be men and Momen of unexcep- 
tionable morals. They may not be communicants of 
churches, but it should be demanded that they be persons 
of unimpeachable morality, honesty and uprightness of life. 
What teachers are, impresses pupils always as truly as 
what they say or do. Children are intuitive readers of 
character. It is impossible to put a bad man or a bad 
woman in charge of a school without imparting to its 
pupils life-long impressions of evil. 

Professors and teachers are sometimes guilty of lack of 
good manners in their school rooms towards their pupils, 
who would be heartily ashamed if charged with the same 
offence in society. Society suffers far more from lack of 
good manners in the school room than in the drawing 
room The long hours passed in contact with teachers by 
pupils in the earliest and most impressible years fill their 
memories with the manners, good, bad or indifferent, 
which subsequent training finds it difficult, or impossible, 
wholly to erase ; the fine courtesy, gentle learning, kindly 
look, voice, and manner of teachers, are never lost on the 
tender tablets of the child's conscience, as the course, 
heedless, careless ways of others are reproduced long years 
afterwards in pupils who are the unfortunate subjects of 
such influences. 



106 Covington Public Schools. 

THE REWARDS OF TPLVCHING. 

The place in which the teacher works may be obscure, 
the labor severe, the gains in money or fame meagre, but 
no teacher who faithfully fills an appointed sphere will fail 
at last to see certain evidence of his work in the lives of 
good men and women whose characters he has moulded — 
will fail to see the satisfaction which comes of a duty con- 
scientiously done-— will fail to hear the voice of Him who 
was the Teacher sent from God, saying in tones of inhnite 
tenderness and love, ''Well done, good and faithful 
servant." 

The profession of a true teacher can never be an easy 
one. It demands much labor to properly prepare for it. 
It insists upon hard work every day it is followed. It pro- 
vides no pension when days of toil have cessed, and 
smoothes no path down to the last resting place with 
promise of support from others. It gives no certainty that 
place and wages shall be received, and leaves the spectre 
of inactivity and want ever standing at the door." 

AVe can not afford to obtain our supply of i ew^ teachers 
by employing untrained persons, who have no conception 
of the duties of a teacher. We must train the graduates 
of our High School to be teachers, or we must look else- 
where if we desire to fill vacancies with competent teach- 
ers. 

NORMAL SCHOOL. 

I quote in full the following : 

ARTICLE XL 
§ 13. The board shall have power to establish and main- 
tain a normal school, or normal training class, for the pur- 



Covington Public Schools. 107 

pose of training the graduates of the Higli School and 
others to be teachers in the schools of the city, and to this 
end it may prescribe rules and regulations for the govern- 
ment of the said normal school, or normal training class, 
and employ a principal and other teachers, as may be 
necessary for the maintenance of the said normal school, or 
normal training class. 

Thus a wise provision was made in our new city charter 
for the establishment of a normal school, or normal train- 
ing class. I recommend that immediate steps be taken for 
the establishment of the same, so that it may be opened in 
September, 1895. 

INSTITUTE. 

The •' 'Joint Institute" held during the first week in Sep- 
tember, 1894, was productive of much good. We had with 
us Dr. Richard G. Boone, President of Michigan State 
Normal School, Ypsilanti, Michigan. Dr. Boone inspired 
all with renewed school life by his profound lectures. All 
our teachers hold Dr. Bocne in the very highest esteem. 

We contemplate holding the institute the first week in 
September of each year. 

The following was the programme :

PROMOTIONS. 



At the present time no provisioQ exists for the promotion 
of pupils other than at the end of the school year. I am 
fully satisfied that prom^^tions should be at more frequent 
intervals. During the present year I shall lay before the 
board a plan for half-yearly promotions. 

I shall also present a plan for the shortening and en- 
riching of the courses of study for the Grammar and Inter- 
mediate Schools. I have given this matter careful study, 
and am fully persuaded that these things can be accom- 
plished and to the betterment of our schools. 

I believe that the most defective part of the public school 
system of the country is the iron-clad regulation requiring 
the capable pupil to mark time while the incapable pupil is 
getting breath and catching up. It is now an accepted 
truth that a large number of pupils can complete the 
course of study below the High School in less time than 
the eight years now prescribed. In fact, a pupil of good 
ability should be allowed the opportunity of completing it 
in seven years, or even in five or six years. 

The pupils of ordinary ability evidently require at least 
eight years to complete work of the grades below the High 
School. I shall not undertake to give such pupils more to 
do, nor less time to do it in. 

EXAMINATIONS. 



Mr. Thurber, of the Girls' Pligh School, Boston, in an 
able address recently delivered, has this to say of examina- 
tions : 



Covington Public Schools. 113 

''I know very well how unwilling teachers are even to 
try to conceive an education without examinations. But 
examinations are a modern innovation, and education is an 
ancient art. Once upon a time examinations came up ; 
and so, some happy day, they may go down. I find my 
girls do best when relieved of all prospect of examination. 
All important in education is the motive with which stu- 
dents work. Simply to spur them to work hard is a coarse 
method that can have in view only the overcoming of in- 
dolence. Indolence, if it exist, is an obstacle to suc- 
cess; but if you simply dispel the indolence, and induce 
activity, the worth of this activity is still problematical; 
and if you use examinations as your stimulus, the exami- 
nations probably become and remain the be-all and end-all 
of the activity." 
And again: 

''So deeply rooted in the pedagogic conscience is this 
view of perpetual examining, marking and ranking, that 
you may even see teachers and superintendents estimate 
the value of studies and school procedures by their ex- 
aminability. Under the long scholastic regimen of marks 
even the feminine heart hardens. Were there not infinite 
compensations in the elasticity of adolescence, and also in 
the beautiful complaisance which woman never outlives, 
the case of our youth would be indeed pitiful. The trend 
of opinion is manifestly towards deposing the idol of exam- 
inations. Many teachers are doing the perfunctory old 
homage under all sorts of mental reservations. You may 
see teachers who can not act up to a belief that it is a cus- 
tom more honored in the breach than in the observance, in 



114 Covington Public Schools. 

whom, however, discretion hath so far fought with nature, 
that, with one suspicion and one dropping eye, they hold 
examinations, but implore pupils not to think anything of 
them — they mark, but expatiate on the baseness of caring 
anything about marks. Thus are we enacting our little 
educational play, which seems, at first glance, altogether a 
comedy, but is, in reality, a melancholy tragedy. 

But 'our little educational play' is at the end of the last 
act, the curtain is dropping and will soon close in the 
'melancholy tragedy.' " 

During the year, I recommended the discontinuance of 
the examinations for promotions in the Primary and Gram- 
mar Schools The recommendation was concurred in. 
This is a step forward. We will still continue, however, to 
have examinations in the Intermediate Schools and High 
Schools. 

Pupils in the Primary and Grammar Schools are pro- 
moted upon the recommendation of the teachers in charge. 

Too much time is spent by teachers in examining and 
marking. Time thus spent gives no material results for 
good and is time lost that should be used in teaching. 

Too many teachers ^'keep school" instead of teaching it. 



THE HIGH SCHOOL. 

The High School course of study has been thoroughly 
revised. 

The Classical Course is provided for those who may wish 
to prepare for college. The Scientific and English Courses 



Covington Public Schools. 115 

are for those who may wish to go to college, or who may- 
wish to ohtain a good education before entering some occu- 
pation in life. 

The High School is the child of the people. It is the 
only hall of learning that has the home for the dormi- 
tory. It is not for the rich ; it is not for the poor; it is 
not for the middle class, exclusively, or even especially; it 
is for the people as they come — rich and poor, and com- 
fortably circumstanced; and it should be made as efficient 
as possible. 

The first aim on the part of the High School is for gen- 
eral intelligence; after that, to prepare both boys and girls 
for business; to fit them for earning their own living, in 
case it should ever become necessary on the part of the 
girls, and in those cases where it is the purpose of the 
parents to send the pupil to the college or university, to fit 
them for it. We should give an opportunity all along 
these lines. There should be some choice allowed the 
pupils as to the course to be pursued, according to their 
purpose in attending the High School. 

A man in moderate circumstances may not be able to 
educate all of his children; he may not desire to do so; 
but there may be one whom it is the dream of his life to 
educate; perhaps a delicate one, or the bright and studious 
one of a large family. 

Families whose children may never in a single ins+ance 
attend the High School will reap advantage from its thor- 
ough establishment, from the fact that many of the future 
teachers of the primary and grammar schools are to come 



116 Covington Pubjlic Schools. 

from the ranks of the High School jAipils, so that what- 
ever makes the work there more thorough will react upon 
all the teaching in the schools. 

We should make our High School one of the very best 
in the land, and to this end the teaching force ihould be 
increased, and all the other needed facilities provided. In 
this connection I wush to call your attention to the report 
of Ihe Principal of the High School, to be found on preced- 
ing pages of this report. I concur in his recomrrendations 
regarding physical and chemical apparatus. A laboratory 
should be provided in one of the High School rooms, the 
same to be thoroughly equipped for work in the science 
department. 

I also recommend that additional teaching force be pro- 
vided, so that the work may be arranged according to de- 
partments. A teacher in the High School can not hope to 
do thorough work unless the class be not large, and the 
subjects to be taught few in number. 

I filso recommend that Greek be made an optional study 
in the Classical Course of the High School. There are 
many boys and girls who may desire to g3 to college, who 
w^ould attend the High School if Greek were taught there- 
in. Many ol these are not so situated that they can em- 
ploy a private instructor in Greek. Our High School 
should provide in-tructien in all subjects required for ad- 
mission to any college or university in the country. 

KINDERGARTENS. 
During the year 1892-3 two Kindergartens were estab- 
lished, under the control of the Board of Education. 
These were for white children. In October, 1893, a Kin- 



Covington Public Schools. 117 

dergarten for colored children was established. The at- 
tendance in this Kindergarten did not justify its contin- 
uance, and it was abandoned in September, 1894. At the 
present time we have three Kindergartens for white chil 
dren— one in the western, one in the eastern, and one in 
the southern portion of the city. They are in a flourishing 
condition, and I hope to see the Board of Education make 
provision for the establishment of a Kindergarten in each 
and every school building, instead of renting buildings for 
Kindergarten purposes, as is the case at the present time. 
The Kindergarten is now an accepted auxiliary to the 
public school system. Let us put ours upon a working 
basis that will admit oi no impeachment. 

THE COLORED SCHOOL. 

The Colored School pursues the same course of study, 
below the High School, as is pursued in the white schools. 

The official designation of the Colored High School is : 
''The Wm . Grant High School." It is provided with a 
separate course of study from that of the High School for 
white children. 

It is to be hoped that the present prosperity of the Col- 
ord School will long continue. 

THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS. 
During the past year and a half the subject of the heating 
and ventilation of the school buildings has received a great deal 
of attention by the Board. In January, 1894, the Fourth 
District building was very badly damaged by fire. When 
the building was repaired a very fine system of heating 
and ventilation was placed in the building. The plans for 



118 Covington Public Schools. 

the heating and ventilation of the Fourth District building 
were furnished by the School House Construction Com- 
pany, of Peoria, Illinois. The C. H. Bennett Furnace 
Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio, executed the work. 

During tlie present fall the Third District building was 
supplied with a system of heating and ventilation similar 
to the one jireviously placed in the Fourth District build- 
ing, except that it seems to bs the opinion of the majority 
of those who have inspected both buildings, that the Third 
District building has the superior system. The Southern 
Smead Company, of East St. Louis, Illinois, planned and 
executed the work in the Third District building. The 
Board of Education is to be congratulated upon these great 
improvements in the sanitary condi'ions of our scdiool 
buildings. May these reforms continue until all our school 
buildings are renovated. 

The growth of our city has been such that the present 
school buildings are no longer adequate for the space and 
facilities needed by our schools Before long additional 
school buildings will be an imperative necessity. Without 
going into details concerning this matter, I wish to recom- 
mend to the board the plan of building a new High School 
building, and the converting of the present High School 
building into a districL school building. The new High 
School building should be located at least within four 
blocks of Eighth and Scott streets. The building now 
used for High School purposes is in no wise suitable for 
such use. The interior arrangement is simply that of a 
very ordinary district school building. Covington is the 



Covington Public Schools. 119 

second largest city in the State of Kentucky, yet a dozen 
cities in the state have school buildings far superior to 
ours. 

LIBRARY. 

On subsequent pages of this report is to be found an 
extract from the City Charter which relates to the estab- 
lishment of a public library, under the auspices of the 
Board of Education. We now have $2,763.50 in the 
Library Fund. 

The time has now come when some action should be 
taken towards the establishment of a library. We have 
facilities for caring for a number of volumes in our High 
School building. I would advise that the money now on 
hand be expended in buying reference books and books of 
a miscellaneous nature, and that these books be placed in 
the care of the High School until a suitable room can be 
obtained for the use of the library. Should the new^ build- 
ing be constructed for the use of the High School, as 
recommended in a preceding portion of this report, suitable 
provision could be made for the library in that building. 
CIVIL GOVERNMENT. 

This subject should be taught in the Intermediate 
School. A knowledge of this branch is necessary to good 
citizenship. No man is properly equipped to cast his bal- 
lot at the polls until he has some knowledge of the funda- 
mental laws of his country. So many of the children 
never reach the High School, that it is highly important 
that they should be taught the elements of Civil Govern- 
ment while in 'he Intermediate grades. During the year I 
shall make provisions for the teaching of this important 
study in these grades. 



120 Covington Pubi.ic Schools. 

ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE. 

Children need know but little or nothing of Anatomy. 
The simplest elements of Physiology will suffice. But 
Hygiene should be given careful attention in aU its grades. 
Children should be taught simple rules for the care of the 
body. The health of the child is of vital importance. 
The teachers are expected to give attention to the physical 
welfare of the child, as well as to the child's intellectual 
development. 

PHYSICAL CULTURE. 

In addition to what has just been noted al)Ove, I wish to 
state that the subject of Physical Culture should receive 
attention in our public schools. The whole child should 
be cared for. A boy or girl should be taught a correct 
carriage of the body as well as the process of solving prob- 
lems in mathematics. The chief aim of Physical Culture 
should be the preservation of health, symmetrical develop- 
ments of the various parts of the body, graceful move- 
ments, a good carriage of the body, and the development 
of the voice. I recommend that a supervisor of physical 
culture be employed. 

I recommend that a gymnasium be provided for the 
High School. The boys and girls of the Intermediate 
School and High School should be given instructions in 
gymnastics. la order to do this it would be necessary to 
establish a gymnasium. A supervisor of physical culture 
should be employed to give dail}^ instruction in this all- 
important department in the High School Building.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS. 

In March, 1894, by special permission of the Board of 
Education, I established military drill In the Intermediate 
School and High School. I am very much gratified with 
the results, and trust that it may be continued. 

Great credit is due Lieut. George C. Saffarrans, U. S. A., 
of Ft. Thomas, Ky., for the interest manifested by him in 
giving his services to the Covington Public School Cadets. 

The service rendered was a great kindness on his part 
and was done at my request and by special permission of 
the War Department, through Col. Cochran, the command- 
ant of Ft. Thomas. 

I especially commend Lieut. Saffarrans for the efficient 
service he rendered us, and sincerely trust that your honor- 
able board will see fit to arrange to give him a suitable 
recompense for his services for the ensuing year. 
MORAL CULTURE. 

Morality is something to be cultivated as well as other 
things. I am thoroughly convinced that too little atten- 
ton is given to moral culture in the public school systems 
of the country. Ethics should form a part of the course of 
study in any school of any grade whatsoever. 

LITERATURE. 

There is no more important part of the education of our 
youth than the study of English Classics. 

Pupils should be inspired with a love for reading at an 
early age. In order to bring about desired results it is 
helpful to prescribe a certain amount to be comr^itted. 
This should be begun in the First Grade and continued 
until the Sixth Grade is reached. From the Sixth Grade

CONCLUSION. 



In conclusion, I wish to extend my thanks to the Board 
of Education for the mark of appreciation shown me in 
many ways. Your honorable board kindly extended my 
term of office from one to four years previous to my re- 
election. For this especial manifestation of confidence I 
am sincerely grateful. I also wdsh to thank the teachers 
for their co-operation in the work of the past year. I have 
a very warm appreciation of what they have accomplished. 
They have done much to improve the schools of our city. 
Respectfully, 

W. C. Warpield, 
Superintendent Public Schools.
